Sinopsis

In Alice Turner Curtis's evocative work, "A Yankee Girl at Shiloh," readers are transported to the tumultuous backdrop of the American Civil War through the eyes of a young girl, the book's resilient protagonist. Blending historical detail with vivid imagery, Curtis's literary style is characterized by direct yet lyrical prose that captures the dualities of war'Äîboth its brutal realities and its impact on human relationships. Set against the pivotal battle of Shiloh, the narrative deftly intertwines personal growth and historical events, offering an engaging portrayal of a young woman finding her agency amidst chaos. Alice Turner Curtis, a notable writer of the early 20th century, was deeply influenced by her own experiences and the narratives surrounding the Civil War, which shaped her understanding of social issues, particularly gender roles. Born into a literary family, her passion for storytelling and dedication to portraying the female experience in history likely spurred her to craft a tale that resonates with themes of courage and resilience. Her works often reflect her strong sense of place and character, animated by a desire to illuminate the voices of those often marginalized in traditional narratives. For readers seeking an engaging and thoughtful exploration of the Civil War from a unique perspective, "A Yankee Girl at Shiloh" is a compelling choice. Curtis'Äôs blend of rich historical context, poignant character development, and exploration of feminine strength presents an enriching experience that invites reflection on the past while engaging with the enduring spirit of determination.

    In the over 100 years since it sank on its maiden voyage, the Titanic has been the subject of endless fascination, as evidenced by the efforts to find its final resting spot, the museums full of its objects, and the countless books, documentaries, and movies made about the doomed ocean liner. Thanks to the dramatization of the Titanic’s sinking and the undying interest in the story, millions of people are familiar with various aspects of the ship’s demise, and the nearly 1,500 people who died in the North Atlantic in the early morning hours of April 15, 1912. The sinking of the ship is still nearly as controversial now as it was over 100 years ago, and the drama is just as compelling.  
    	In the century since the Titanic sank, public interest in the ship and its history has waxed and waned on a regular basis. There was a flurry of activity right after it went down, as people tried to wrap their minds around what happened, but the World Wars pushed attention elsewhere. Then, during the 1950s, scientists had the time and money to become interested in it again. While there were numerous attempts to find that ship during the 1970s, the mighty ship still kept her secrets, her dead and their possessions safely at the bottom of the sea, where only strange creature comfortable in the depths could disturb them. 
    	As it turned out, the most famous wreck in the world would not be located until 1985, over 70 years after the ship sank that fateful April night. The discovery ignited a new flurry of interest in Titanic, including an interest in what the wreck still held, who those items belonged, to and what should be done with them. The 1997 blockbuster movie about the ship only stirred up more interest and controversy, both of which continue to this day.

    In this powerful and deeply felt polemic memoir, Alejandra Oliva, a Mexican-American translator and immigrant justice activist, offers a chronological document of her experience interpreting at the US-Mexico border, and of the people she has encountered along the way. Tracing her family's long and fluid relationship to the border, each generation born on opposite sides of the Rio Grande, and having worked on asylum cases since 2016, she knows all too well the gravity of taking someone's trauma and delivering it to the warped demands of the American immigration system. 
     
     
     
    In Rivermouth, Oliva focuses on the physical spaces that make up different phases of immigration and looks at how language and opportunity move through each of them; from the river as the waterway that separates the US and Mexico, to the table as the place over which Oliva prepares asylum seekers for their Credible Fear Interviews, and finally, to the wall as the behemoth imposition that runs along America's southernmost border. 
     
     
     
    As investigative and analytical as she is meditative and introspective, sharp as she is lyrical, and incisive as she is compassionate, in Rivermouth, Oliva argues for a better world while guiding us through the suffering that makes the fight necessary and the joy that makes it worth fighting for.
